In this article we will see how we can get the leading value of the spin box’s font. Leading value of the text means the distance between two baselines of lines of type. The word ‘leading’ originates from the strips of lead hand-typesetters used to use to space out lines of text evenly. The word leading has stuck, but essentially it’s a typographer’s term for line spacing.
In order to do this we use leading method with the spin box’s QFontMetrics object.
Syntax : font_metrics.leading()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns integer.
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for widgets def UiComponents(self): # creating spin box self.spin = QSpinBox(self) # setting geometry to spin box self.spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 250, 40) # setting range to the spin box self.spin.setRange(1, 999999) # setting prefix to spin self.spin.setPrefix("PREFIX ") # setting suffix to spin self.spin.setSuffix(" SUFFIX") # creating a label label = QLabel(self) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 60) # getting font metrics f_metrics = self.spin.fontMetrics() # getting leading value of the font lead = f_metrics.leading() # setting text to the label label.setText(" Leading Value : " + str(lead)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
